I'm trying to clear out my iCloud storage but still want to keep my photos. I've read a lot but I'm confused about how to specifically get my photos and videos from iCloud (not the Photos app on my phone) to an external hard drive. I currently pay $2.99 a month for iCloud and would like to avoid paying more. I've also heard that Amazon Prime offers unlimited photo storage, but that requires a subscription. Can someone explain, in simple terms, how to transfer my photos from iCloud to my hard drive? I'm working on clearing out my storage in the meantime. Thanks!

The simplest method is to download all your photos directly to a Mac or PC and then move them over to your external hard drive. It's pretty straightforward once you get started!
Thanks for the tip! So how exactly do I download them on my Mac? Is it just drag and drop, or is there a specific download option in iCloud?
